According to a report from Dbltap, HS is in talks to fill the spot left by Keith'NAF' Markovic, who has left Renegades to join Team Liquid in place of Josh'JDM' Marzano.

HS is the third member of the OpTic Gaming CS:GO squad departing, with the organization having already confirmed that both Oscar'Mixwell' Cañellas and Emil'Magisk' Reif will be leaving the team.

Having joined the squad just over five months ago, when OpTic Gaming overhauled its CS:GO line-up to build an entirely European roster. Unfortunately, that line-up's time together failed to produce any remarkable results, and seems set to undergo a significant rebuild once again.

In a recent AMA, VP of Esports at Infinite Esports and Entertainment Jacob'Maelk' Toft-Anderson confirmed that OpTic Gaming's new CS:GO line-up has now been finalized.

Whether or not HS ultimately moves to Renegades, that he is currently negotiating with a new team would seem to suggest at least that he will no longer be competing for OpTic.

If the move does in fact go through, HS would be very much following in NAF's footsteps, who himself joined Renegades after parting ways with OpTic Gaming during the roster shuffle that brought HS to the organization.

Both OpTic Gaming and Renegades will have to have finalized their rosters before Wednesday February 7th, when rosters will be locked for the next season of the ESL Pro League.
